In today\\u2019s podcast The Darkness bassist talks us through the band\\u2019s brand-new album.

Frankie Poullain has been entertaining crowds with The Darkness for years. Since hitting the big time with their 2003 debut album, Permission To Land, he\\u2019s hardly had time to catch his breath. This year has been a busy one for the band, who are fresh off shows with Guns N\\u2019 Roses and a run of European festivals. The new album is a masterclass in retro rock, a feast of big riffs, killer guitar tones and searing vocals. More importantly it crackles with the raw, spontaneous energy of a live show, something often absent from many modern rock albums.
